copy the full dir or the files you like in ftp
i preffer to make a zip file of them ( if possible ) or to wget them on the other server

from there you keep the structure ( uploads/0001/filename )

as soon that is done , then you use navicat or phpadmin and start editing the table 'files' where you see srvid 1 or higher , and change it to id 2 or higher ( see your server tab in admin panel to know what server id the new server has)

on that way the files are just transfered over with out a problem , and you keep the same structure so a simple edit makes it to move over

in short
ssh -> old upload folder/files -> copy to new server but keep same structure
mysql -> update old server id to new server id to start downloading from new server

it does not check anythingit copy over the file and change the id in the db , just like i manual do

exept that he use the webserver to do it , so it can get timeouts like i have first time i tried i lost a lot of files because of the timeout ( i was moving files of 2.5GB )

powerchaos u mean after transfering the data we have to just change the srv_id or exp if the old server id was 1 so we have to make it to 0 and new change the the new server srv_id from 2 to 1 ? and the file will be able to start downloading ? may i right ?

yeah i got it but after changing the new server id to old one after it we have to remove the old server ! but i have another tip after moving data take every thing same server name server id just change server space server ip and location of /files and /cgi-bin folders nothing else

both of are really better but if you dont want to change the server name then u should try my method otherwise power method and if you will use my method so some files its giving downloading error then u have to upload the install file again and install the same server again and if you need any help so u can say to me if i know i will try to help you .even if i need i will sk you ! give me your site and email
